PRELIMINARy PHASES FOR USE

Starting the appliance
Check that the voltage of the domestic network is the same as that indicated on the technical information plate of the appli-
ance. Place the appliance on a flat surface.
Before using the appliance for the first time wash the tank. Fill it up with fresh cool water and insert it in its housing (Fig. 3).
Insert the plug into the socket, which must be earthed.
any dripping of water from the small pipe located inside the tank is not to be considered a machine defect, but
rather a sign that the self-priming valve is operating normally.
Starting the first time
After having filled the tank with cool tap water, start the machine by pressing the button (O). Indicator lamps (N) and (S)
turn on to indicate that the machine is on and that the internal boiler has started to heat up, respectively. Press the coffee
dispensing switch (R) until you see water come out of the filter holder seat (Fig. 4).
Warning!
If you are starting the machine for the first time or after a period of time during which it has not been used, it is
recommended that at least one cup of water be allowed to pass through the boiler's hydraulic circuit. Also open
the cock (P) by slightly turning it anti-clockwise after having placed a container underneath the Maxi Cappuccino
device wand (E).
Then close the cock (P) by turning it clockwise, and press the coffee dispensing switch (R) to make the water stop coming
out. THE MACHINE WILL BE READY TO MAKE COFFEE WHEN THE INDICATOR LAMP (S) TURNS OFF.

HOW TO MAKE COFFEE

Put the Thermocream® Disc (H), the perforated silicone disc (I) and the Thermocream® Filter (L) into the filter holder in the
order indicated (Fig. 5). Measure out the coffee in the filter and lightly press with the specially provided presser. Completely
fill two measures for two cups of coffee, and fill only one for one cup. Insert the filter holder into its seat.
Warning!
Tighten well by turning it from left to right while making sure you have hooked it properly onto the flange (Fig. 6).
If too much ground coffee is put inside the filter, turning the filter holder may prove difficult and/or you may get leaks
from the filter holder when the coffee is being dispensed.
It is advisable to let the filter holder heat up a few minutes in its seat before making a cup of coffee so that the first cup is
piping hot, too. This will not be necessary for the cups of coffee that follow.
To start dispensing, press the switch (R). The coffee will start coming out of the spouts of the filter holder. Press the switch
(R) again to stop it.
The minimum serving of coffee is 50 ml.
Warning!
Like in professional coffee machines, do not remove the filter holder when the dispensing switch (R) is on; danger
of burns!
Warning!
Wait about ten seconds after the coffee has been dispensed before removing the filter holder. To remove it, turn it
slowly from right to left so as to prevent splashes or spurts of water or coffee.
When the machine is in stand-by, the lamp (S) will turn on and off periodically. This shows that the boiler thermostat is trip-
ping, which serves to keep the water temperature optimum.
If small puffs of steam come out of the filter holder coupling seat, this phenomenon is to be considered absolutely
normal.
It is a good idea to start dispensing the coffee only when this indicator lamp is off.
HOW TO MAKE COFFEE WITH A POD
To make coffee with pods you must use the specific pod filter (U) that came with the coffee maker as described below:
1 Place the pod in the filter ring making sure that the part with the word "down" is facing down (Fig. 13).
2 Push the pod towards the bottom of the filter with your fingers (Fig. 14) while making sure the paper edges adhere to the
interior of the filter.
3 The pod must be well centred and placed inside the filter. It is advisable to fold the corners inwards (Fig. 15).
4 Now it is possible to put the filter holder in its seat. Tighten the filter holder while making sure you have hooked it properly
onto the flange (Fig. 16).
